Specifications
Weighing
Features and benefits:
Recognized as an industrial standard
For 23 years, the PAX Meter has been voted North America’s number 1 panel meter by Control Design’s readers.
Visualize any digital parameter
Whatever parameter you need to monitor, the PAX series covers it. Keep track of count and rate.
Compact, easy to read display
Visualize critical performance data easily on a 6-digit 0.56” (14 mm) red sunlight readable LED display.
Customizable units for evolving demands
When needs change, upgrade your meter instead of replacing it. Plug-and-play option cards add new capabilities. Choose from programming, communications, analog output and setpoints cards.
Field-upgradable communications and programming cards
Add communications or programming capability with optional cards. Choose from RS232, RS485, Modbus, PROFIBUS-DP and Crimson programming.
Field-upgradable analog output cards
Install a single analog output card for 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 VDC
Field-upgradable setpoint cards
Add setpoint capability with optional cards. Choose from dual relay, quad relay, quad sinking and quad sourcing.
Runs on DC power.
Uses 11-36 DC.

Details
The PAXI0030 is a Red Lion Controls PAX® Series Dual Counter and Rate Panel Meter engineered for heavy-duty industrial automation and process monitoring. This versatile, low-voltage unit consolidates high-speed counting, multi-functional totalizing, and real-time tachometer/rate measurements into a single industry-standard package.
Core Technical Specifications
- Power Supply: 11 to 36 VDC or 24 VAC.
- Main Display: Single-line, 6-digit, 0.56-inch (14.2 mm) red sunlight-readable LED.
- Physical Format: Standard 1/8 DIN panel mount (96 mm x 48 mm panel cutout size: 92 mm x 45 mm).
- Protection Rating: NEMA 4X / IP65 sealed front bezel for dust and splash resistance.
- Sensor Power Output: Built-in 12 VDC, ±10% regulated output up to 100 mA.
- Accuracy: Highly precise performance rated at ±0.01%.
Operational Features
- Dual Multi-Inputs: Dual high-speed digital inputs supporting up to 34 kHz. It handles switch contacts, CMOS/TTL outputs, magnetic pickups, and quadrature/directional signals.
- Simultaneous Display Tracking: The unit can configure and swap between three independent count displays (Count A, Count B, and Totalizer) alongside the active process rate indication.
- Field Upgradeability: Built with three option card slots allowing you to scale up features plug-and-play fashion as operational needs grow.
- Programmable User Inputs: Three designated user inputs to execute manual run-time operations like reset, display hold, or print commands.
- Non-Volatile Memory: Ensures zero downtime data loss by protecting all programmable system parameters and count metrics during sudden power drops.
Field Expansion Options
The fundamental value of the PAX platform relies on field-installable daughter boards to handle integration changes:
- Setpoints: Add 2-relay, 4-relay, or solid-state outputs for automatic industrial control triggers.
- Analog Re-transmission: Install analog output cards (0-10V or 4-20mA) to mirror your metrics back to PLCs.
- Communications: Add fieldbus and network cards including Modbus, RS232, RS485, DeviceNet, or Profibus.
